BOSTON CELTIC PUNK ROCKERS THE DROPKICK MURPHY’S CONCERTS ARE SUPER HIGH ENERGY AND AT THE END OF THEIR SHOW THEY INVITE AUDIENCE MEMBERS UP ON STAGE…IV’E BEEN TO QUITE A FEW OF THEIR SHOWS, BUT NEVER GOT UP ON STAGE BUT REALLY LOVE THE INCLUSION! GENERALLY IT IS A PUNK FEEL GOOD MOMENT, BUT ON THIS DATE 11 YEARS AGO AT A DROPKICK’S SHOW IN NYC AS THEY WERE ROCKING OUT WITH FANS ON STAGE FOR A COUPLE SONGS, INCLUDING AC/DC’S “TNT” SOME SKINHEAD DUDE ON STAGE STARTED DOING THE NAZI SALUTE IN TIME TO THE MUSIC…WHICH LED TO SINGER AND BASSIST KEN CASEY TO STORM THE STAGE AND NOT ONLY PUT THE DUDE IN A CHOKEHOLD, BUT STARTED SWINGIN HIS BASS AT HIM AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER CASEY EMERGED FROM THE CHAOS AND SHOUTED INTO THE MICROPHONE IN HIS GRAVEL VOICE, QUOTE, NAZI’S ARE NOT F$%^ING WELCOME AT A DROPKICK MURPHYS SHOW! …WHILE THOSE PUNKS ARE INCLUSIVE, THEY DO NOT TOLERATE HATE…TODAY’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND IS FROM THOSE BOSTON PUNKS…”I’M SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON” ~ROXY
